PROJECT DAEDALUS, 1994

This is a project I did back when I was at Art Center College of Design in the early nineties. After foundational courses in drawing and painting I wanted to focus on entertainment design with an eye toward science fiction. So for my 6th term elective I chose to illustrate "Project Daedalus", a scientifically possible mission to a nearby star as proposed by the British Interplanetary Society. This was before photoshop, maya or terragen. My efforts were more than modest and primitve compared to the extraordinary work being done now but I enjoyed doing it. Here are the bits and pieces of it that I still have.

The design pages were made in adobe illustrator and the illustrations are in gouache and marker..

If I can find it, I'll scan it and pass it on, but there was an article about this in a magazine call Space Voyager, a UK publication of the early 90's. I'm sure it was your work! Anyway, awesome work all the same!
